By analyzing travel narratives, histories, creative collaborations, and political exchanges, he traces the development of African American\/Caribbean dialogue through the lives and works of four key individuals: historian\/archivist Arthur Schomburg, writer\/anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, jazz poet Jayne Cortez, and theologian\/politician Jean-Bertrand Aristide. People Get Ready examines how these influential figures have reevaluated popular culture, revised the relationship between intellectuals and everyday people, and transformed practices ranging from librarianship and anthropology to poetry and broadcast journalism. This discourse, Meehan notes, is not free of contradictions, and misunderstandings arise on both sides. In addition to noting dialogues of unity, People Get Ready focuses on instances of intellectual elitism, sexism, color prejudice, imperialism, national chauvinism, and other forms of mutual disdain that continue to limit African American and Caribbean solidarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn examination of the rich, long-lasting exchanges between African Americans and Caribbean peoples\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 29, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52610133262643,"sku":"9781617032011","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Xo0RDCGBWH9781617032011.webp?v=1761821595","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/people-get-ready-african-american-and-caribbean-cultural-exchange-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
